Evenes twr; good morning, paraglider checking in enroute to Lødingen, 2000 ft storjorda....
Melåa
Pushing against a light compression through Kongsvikdalen
Fiskefjord and Tjeldsundet
strandtind
Hamaroy and Stetind in the distance.
One day I will fly south towards these mountains ..... I can feel them pulling on me....
1.st turnpoint, Nes fort
Kanstadfjorden
The air gods allowed me a peaceful passage ....
Gullesfjordbotn and lofastkrysset
Moysalen in the distance
tverrelvtind with moysalen, I feel small here...
Skagen information; Paraglider checking in level at 2500 ft, sordalen, vestbound
Crossing over into Sordalen
the alps of Godfjorden.....
For me, one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Hurigruta approaches Sortland
Strandheia
Looking south towards vestfjorden
2. turnpoint , Asnesset in the fjord bottom
Slettfjell ridge, a very nice day hike, highly reccomended
Heading home, a light tailwind pushes me, my groundspeed is almost 60 kmh...
This ridge is in my opinion one of the best day hikes in the entire lofoten - vesteralen aera.
Start point N68 48 19 E15 11 20, Slettfjell summit N68 50 08 E15 18 19
Cruisin towards forfjord
The Godfjord alps is always nice to watch
Simply awesome, Skardtind ridge looking east towards Kvafjord
Engine monitoring:
EGT is 963 F witch is quite cool (max is 1070)
CHT is 132 (barely above idle temp, max is 170 for cruise)
RPM is 5150, typhical for full reflex cruise on the fusion 29
Engine time is 3:25, and there is 9 liter left in the tanks.
Groundspeed is quite good.... (:
The wire from the GPS connects to the fuel computer and also supplies generator power to the GPS.<
Heated clothing is on, VERY nice feature!!!
This picture shows "cool burn" modus, and I use this setting when I am well within fuel / range.
The engine runs cool and with minimal power output.
If max range or power is required I can switch to "performance modus"
This will increase power by some 10% and decreases fuel burn by some 15%
3.turnpoint, Magoyholmen
Back home!
The airfield in the upper middle
